firstly are you serious?
you would need to build a winch cradle out of steel that would sit behind the bar & bolt to the chassis & a "shep toobe" inside the front crossmember!
or you could just use some pop rivets, tech screws & cable ties
personally i would wait for a steel bar to come up, shep had a heap that he sold off way cheap.

No mate that was a once only made one.
It was custom made from a T15 TJM bar and T13 TJM bar.
I know the guy that makes TJM bars and he made it for me. It looked great.
